Isn't "Frisky Dingo" the launch code for the Annihilatrix? Didn't Sin mention that in episode 210? Shouldn't that be in this article somewhere? --

The last ep of season one and 210 confirm it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.141.82 ( talk) 14:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Until more episodes are aired is it really necessary to have a separate character list? The information seems to be the same in both so at this stage it's pretty much redundant. -- carpeNoctem 04:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I noticed in the external links now someone has added a MySpace profile for Killface. Upon visiting the link I am not very sold that this is an official profile but more the work of a really devoted and possibly bored fan with a bit too much time on his/her hands (same applies for his son Simon's profile). Anyone can create a MySpace profile. Is there any reason for this to be included here? -- carpeNoctem 09:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
When someone gets the chance, can they add the spiffy image link thing to the Wikiquotes page for this show? I'm too much of a newb and too lazy to figure it out right now. -- ModernTenshi04 16:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
How about we try to reach a consensus on the talk page as opposed to reverting it back and for? What does everyone think should be used, the form from the Web site or the spelling on the show itself? I'd prefer the show, since Adult Swim's Web site isn't always reliable as a source, but I'd like to hear what others think. SGreenwell 22:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, as it stands now, there's one spelling in the Origins section and another in the plot. I'm going to consolidate them both to Xtacles. Feel free to run with the other spelling if you'd like, but the spelling should be consistent at least. Bitnine 18:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I think we're going to run into a problem if this show goes any longer than one season. As it is, the "plot summary" section really isn't much of a summary, it's an episode-by-episode retelling. I think if we aren't proactive, the entire thing might get edited out one night. I think it might be worth it to do sort of what they have on the Family Guy page - They have a short summary of the show in the main article, then a link to another article that's just a list of each episode. I think the text that currently constitutes the "plot summary" section would look nicer if it was split off episode by episode. What say you? SGreenwell 13:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
The information on when the second season will air keeps changing around without any new references being made. The current reference says "late 2007" and it is just a blog on TV.com that does not cite any sources for the information itself. I believe Adult Swim is running bumps this week that say when new shows are arriving this year, but I didn't catch if Frisky Dingo was on there. If that is where the current "Summer 2007" reference is coming from, then the old reference needs to at least be removed, if not replaced by a citation of the bump. -- Jfowler27 22:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
On the Adult Swim Fix [4] it says of the episode "Thrust Issues" the following, "No. It is not the end. Because Adult Swim bought 13 episodes. So this ones(sic) the end. And what exactly makes this one the end, you ask? Well... remember the Annihilatrix?" So I think we should consider removing the claim of a second season altogether, as that pretty clearly states that there won't be any more than 13 episodes. Zaron 18:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Well since nobody seems to have anything to say, and some random person's blog that doesn't cite its source is the only supposed proof of a second season, while a website run directly by Adult Swim indicated that there will not be any more episodes, I'm going to remove the statement. If someone can come up with some more solid proof of a second season, please feel free to put the statement back in there, including the source. In all honesty I hope it does get a second season, as I love this show, but all reliable information seems to indicate otherwise. Zaron 22:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Any info on when that's coming out? - Garfwog 00:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
They may not actually be from the Asiatic region of Earth. Perhaps they just happen to look like stereotypical Asians and speak Japanese. MGlosenger 19:32, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
According to imdb, Mike Bell is not the more prolific Michael Bell pointed to by the link in the right sidebar. I have gotten rid of the redirecting link.

I think would be useful to have:
I'd do this but I'm having trouble coming up with good descriptions of either. ike9898 15:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
The plot section needs to condensed by about half, but if there is any disagreement on this point, I'd like to discuss it here first, before putting in the work and having it reverted. Do you object to a major shortening of the plot section? ike9898 15:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Please help write a description of the animation style here (edit freely, I don't really know what I'm talking about): ike9898 ( talk) 15:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'm going to move something based on above into the article. Of course, there's room for improvement and it would be great to have a reference from an animation magazine or something like that. ike9898 ( talk) 14:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I put a fact tag on the Spin-Off section. I can't verify the website (security procedures at work..bleh) so if someone can actually attribute a reliable source to the claim (is Frisky Dingo Central affiliated with 70/30 at all?) it would be appreciated. Hazardous Matt 21:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
71.66.98.157 ( talk) 16:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Frisky Dingo Central is part of a greater network of fan sites that are dedicated to adult swim shows. It includes Adult Swim Central, Aqua Teen Central, Squidbillies Central, 12 oz. Mouse Central, Metaloalypse Central and the Swimcast. the information on the site usually says that it was confirmed by 70/30.
This section seems to be more focused on somebody putting clues together that the show's town is based on Atlanta than actually describing the setting - majore motropolitan era, the present (or near future), etc. This should be updated. Pirchlogan ( talk) 00:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think the style section is entirely factual and is based on PoV. It is simply written by someone who has watched the show and made observations; it needs references (obviously) and possibly historical context, e.g. what shows are related and how are they written/animated? What backgrounds do the main creators come from; were they previously artists or wrters from somewhere else? You get the idea. Andre666 ( talk) 10:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Replaced the POV tag with the OR tag. Fans wrote that section in good faith but without any citations by reliable sources. If these claims can't be backed up with sources, the whole section ought to go. White 720 ( talk) 19:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
i dug up some interviews on frisky dingo, maybe they can be added or referenced in the article.

The Article says that it's "rendered" to look like a painting, but the Credits say that it actually is a painting. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TBone777 ( talk • contribs) 03:53, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
The two-episode spin-off The Xtacles is not sufficiently independently notable to justify its own article. As such, The Xtacles should be merged here. Neelix ( talk) 19:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Maybe it is me but I thought that much of this was political humor. For example during one point Killface's bus was cut off and it nearly looked like it was a Hillary Clinton campaign bus.
The hunting with Xander and Killface can be argued to be like when Dick Cheney went hunting
Mr. Bill might be a parody of Obama
Of course the reference to Jackie Kennedy when Xander was asked to run for office.
What do you think?
the 2 most recent edits by 2601:601:1900:a08:d6e:178d:6bf9:4c3a changed original air dates that i was unsure of how to corroborate. if there's anyone out there with intimate knowledge on the subject who can confirm these changes it'd be excellent. Dankdevice ( talk) 21:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
